Keto zucchini lasagna rolls

Ingredients:

• 3 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced lengthwise (about 1/8 inch thick)
• 1 lb (450g) ground beef or ground turkey
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups sugar-free marinara sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Lay the sliced zucchini on a paper towel and sprinkle with a little salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture. Pat them dry with another paper towel.
3. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef or ground turkey until it’s fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat, if necessary.
4. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the cooked meat. Stir to combine and let it cook for another minute or two. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and the egg. Mix well to create the cheese filling.
6. Spread a thin layer of sugar-free marinara sauce on the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.
7. To assemble the zucchini lasagna rolls, lay a zucchini slice flat on a clean surface. Spoon some of the cheese filling along one end of the zucchini slice and top with a spoonful of the cooked meat mixture.
8. Gently roll up the zucchini slice, enclosing the filling, and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining zucchini slices.
9. Once all the rolls are in the baking dish, pour the rest of the sugar-free marinara sauce over the top, covering the zucchini rolls.
10. Sprinkle additional shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
11. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
12. If desired, remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the cheese to brown slightly.
13. Once done, remove the Keto Zucchini Lasagna Rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
14. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if you like, and serve hot.
